Just finished them. It was a solid and fun season. The fight in episode 24 reminded me of the epic battles in TTGL. Gotta say this was a lot of fun to watch for essentially a gunpla commercial. It has some great characters and action for sure. I hear a new season is coming out soon, so I'll likely keep up with it when they post the episodes.

Pretty much how I approach most modern anime.

If it is too blatant, "for more, buy the source material" then it just feels squicky, but more and more studios are learning how to make the commercial anime market its own thing.

The only thing that really bothers me is that instead of having a new mech or whatever introduced to sell gunpla, that many modern anime have the moe / loli / whatever character meant to sell character merchandise, because it's easy to write some things into the narrative (like new mech designs, for example, based on upcoming gunpla), but when it comes to a character, that is something that fundamentally imposes on the narrative and character dynamics of a series.
